Colossians 1:2

Verse Colossians 1:2. To the saints] Those who professed Christianity. Ephesians 1:1.

Which are at Colosse] Instead of εν κολοσσαις, at Colosse, or among the Colossians, ABC, and many other excellent MSS., with both the Syriac, Coptic, Slavonic, Origen, Gregory Nyssen, Amphilochus, Theodoret, Damascenus, Theophylact, and others, read εν κολασσαις in Colassa, or among the Colassians; and this is most probably the true reading.

That which at present is supposed to occupy the site of this ancient city is called Konos. For other particulars see the preface to this epistle. See Clarke on Col 1:1

Grace be unto you] Romans 1:7.

And the Lord Jesus Christ.] This clause is omitted by many MSS., several versions, and some of the fathers. Griesbach has left it out of the text, not, in my opinion, on sufficient evidence.
